ABSTRACT The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first return of lunar samples to Earth since
the Apollo and Luna missions more than 44 years ago, landed on one of the youngest mare …

The Chinese spacecraft Chang'e-5 (CE-5) landed on the northern Ocean Procellarum and
returned 1,731 grams of regolith. The CE-5 regolith is composed mostly of fragments of …

The Moon has a magmatic and thermal history that is distinct from that of the terrestrial
planets. Radioisotope dating of lunar samples suggests that most lunar basaltic magmatism …

Orbital data indicate that the youngest volcanic units on the Moon are basalt lavas in
Oceanus Procellarum, a region with high levels of the heat-producing elements potassium …

Mare volcanics on the Moon are the key record of thermo-chemical evolution throughout
most of lunar history,–. Young mare basalts—mainly distributed in a region rich in …

Abstract China's Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission, the first lunar sample return mission since 1976,
landed at 43.06° N, 51.92° W on Dec. 1, 2020, in Northern Oceanus Procellarum. CE-5 …

Abstract Chang'e-5, China's first lunar sample return mission, is targeted to land in northern
Oceanus Procellarum, within a region selected on the basis of 1) its location away from the …

Lunar soil is a fine mixture of local rocks and exotic components. The bulk-rock chemical
composition of the newly returned Chang'E-5 (CE-5) lunar soil was studied to understand its …

Lunar mare basalts provide a probe to study the magmatic and thermal evolution of the
Moon. The Chang'e-5 (CE-5) mission returned samples from a young and hitherto …

We utilize a theoretical analysis of the generation, ascent, intrusion and eruption of basaltic
magma on the Moon to develop new insights into magma source depths, supply processes …
